1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,880
Welcome back to show Joe, the show Joe and my recap series where I, Sarah show my friend

2
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,160
Joe show Joe for the first time.

3
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,480
Hence the name show Joe since I'm showing Joe show Joe.

4
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:33,240
So word count how many times I say show Joe in 30 seconds.

5
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,520
Today we're starting a new series and it's I like it.

6
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,080
I'm liking it.

7
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:41,720
Oh, you do?

8
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:42,000
Okay.

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,080
Yeah.

10
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,560
I wasn't sure.

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:50,080
This is one old and it the age shows for sure.

12
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:57,000
But I think the story itself will be good enough to make up for those things.

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,360
Okay.

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Yeah.

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,040
This is one that neither of us have seen.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,000
So it's a little bit different than kind of what we've normally done up to this point

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,800
for any new listeners on this first episode of a new show.

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,280
Normally, Sarah has seen the show before and shows me it.

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920
But this time neither of us have seen it.

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,480
So this is new to both of us.

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Yeah.

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,840
I am.

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:28,240
We can get more into it, but because this is like a classic show Joe and I can't say

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,280
that I have watched that many like old, old show Joe.

25
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,720
So this will make me a more well rounded show Joe fan.

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,880
And yeah, I've got things to say when we get to the coverage of it.

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:50,120
But first, this is we'll typically start off catching up since this is how me and Joe

28
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:56,360
get to maintain our friendship through a podcast since we do not get to see each other that

29
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,240
often.

30
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,720
So what have you been up to, Joe?

31
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,840
I have.

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:03,800
What have I been up to?

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,400
I beat another one of the Gears of War games.

34
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,600
I beat Gears of War judgment.

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,120
A game I forget exists.

36
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Mm hmm.

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,080
It came out after Gears of War three and is very much to say we have the engine.

38
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,800
So let's just make another game.

39
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,800
It's weird.

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,400
It changes the button layouts, which is always a mistake, which means I was constantly doing

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,960
the wrong thing.

42
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,960
And it's like a more of an arcadey kind of shooter.

43
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280
Like you just like go through little short areas and maybe like five minutes and then

44
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,280
you get like one out of there, you know, one out of three stars or three out of three stars

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,280
or whatever.

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,440
So it's like a totally different like setup.

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,760
It was very bizarre.

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,760
Weird.

49
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:42,760
Yeah.

50
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:43,760
But yeah.

51
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,840
So I beat that.

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,720
So I am now moving on to Gears five, which is called Gears five, not Gears of War five.

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,920
If anybody doesn't know I'm playing all of the Gears of War games for some reason, I

54
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,400
decided to do that arbitrarily.

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,720
So I'm almost at the end.

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560
I have two games left.

57
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Okay.

58
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,560
Yeah.

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,960
That's interesting that they trim the title of the series.

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,680
Is the next one Gears six?

61
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,680
No, the next one is Gears tactics.

62
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,320
It's a spin off game.

63
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,320
I don't know.

64
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,280
It's supposed to make a six, but it's supposed to be like a prequel one.

65
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,560
So I mean, I don't know what they're going to do to be honest.

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,680
I don't know how well let it down.

67
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:20,680
Yeah.

68
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,680
But all right.

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,680
A OVA series from the nineties.

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:35,440
No, from 1988 to 1989 is a six episode mech series.

71
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,720
This was the, I believe this is the first thing that Hideaki onno directed, who's the

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:46,440
guy who would go on to make me on Genesis, even Galeon, which is like a big mech thing.

73
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:52,200
So I watched this and it is like a fascinating like it's, you know, it's like they have all

74
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,720
this money because it's an OVA.

75
00:03:53,720 --> 00:04:01,600
And if you don't know an OVA is like a original animation video usually that they sell for

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,760
like pretty expensive.

77
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,040
They sell them in like pairs of episodes for like $40 or something, which means that they

78
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,200
can make it look really nice, much more than you can do for a TV show.

79
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,440
And also there's more time in between the release of episodes.

80
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,440
So usually like your expensive animation stuff shows up in OVA's.

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760
That being said, this is a story about Earth.

82
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:27,520
There's a bunch of aliens in the galaxy that are going to try to destroy Earth and they

83
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,160
need to send people up into spaceships to fight the aliens.

84
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:41,520
And so we follow a girl whose name is Noriko or dad used or like was a commander of one

85
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,760
of the spaceships that eventually gets destroyed.

86
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,040
She decides that she's going to go out into space and like, you know, live on his legacy

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,040
or whatever.

88
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,360
They pilot these little tiny mechs.

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,880
And like the first episode is them doing like jumping jacks in the mechs and doing pushups

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,880
and stuff.

91
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,680
And you know, it's like a very goofy.

92
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,720
Apparently this series is a supposed to be like a parody of Aim for the Ace, which is

93
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,320
like a classic tennis.

94
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,720
Anime or manga.

95
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,000
That sounds more familiar.

96
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Yeah.

97
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Yes.

98
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,240
This is called Aim for the Top because it's supposed to be a combination of Aim for the

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,680
Ace and Top Gun.

100
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,480
So it's like ridiculous question about Mecca.

101
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:22,480
Yeah.

102
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,160
Is that ever not in space?

103
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,040
Like do they ever never go to space?

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,840
Uh, let me think.

105
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:35,880
There's usually some space component like Neon Genesis, Evangelion, they don't go to space.

106
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,440
But there's a one time there's an alien, not an alien, there's an angel that's in space,

107
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,920
but I don't think they ever go there.

108
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:42,920
Okay.

109
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,520
But yeah, because usually you're fighting something gigantic because you're in a mech.

110
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,000
So you are like oftentimes you'll be fighting other like aliens or something to like justify

111
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,520
why you would need a mech.

112
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:53,520
That's that big.

113
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,520
Yeah.

114
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,320
It's kind of, yeah.

115
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,120
And they're also like all sci-fi by definition.

116
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,600
So it's like pretty often they go to space.

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,600
Anyway, the thing that's really interesting about Gunbuster is like a lot of it is about

118
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,520
how when you move at light speed or close to light speed, time slows down for you, which

119
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:18,200
means if you go to space and on a space mission that only lasts, you know, 10 minutes, that

120
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,480
may be six months.

121
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:26,320
So like throughout the six episode OVA Noriko is like, you know, for her it's been like

122
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:31,240
not even a year, but like decades will pass or like, like enormous amounts of time will

123
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,160
pass for other people and they'll like grow up and all this other stuff.

124
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,320
And it's just like a really interesting kind of look at that.

125
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,320
It was pretty fun.

126
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Yeah, that sounds cool.

127
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,960
The Gunbuster shows up, which is like a big fuck off robot, which is cool.

128
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:43,960
Mm hmm.

129
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Yeah.

130
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,600
It was interesting.

131
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,680
It was Joe, our mech boy was mech.

132
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,680
Yeah.

133
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080
So I can tell people it's not all I watch.

134
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Okay.

135
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,080
I'm watching other stuff.

136
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,080
Just wait.

137
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,080
Buckle up every week.

138
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,080
Well, okay.

139
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,080
Because I'm watching all of Gundam.

140
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Idiom blah blah blah.

141
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,080
Yeah.

142
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,080
Space runway, Idiom.

143
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:05,760
I also watched that.

144
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:06,760
That was good.

145
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,440
I'm watching along with it with a podcast, kind of like how our podcasts work and they

146
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,880
like watch mostly mech stuff.

147
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,880
So I'm also doing that.

148
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,600
But you know, I watch plenty of other stuff.

149
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,960
I watched.

150
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,960
I watched more Rana.

151
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,960
Mm hmm.

152
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,840
I'm some not that far, but I watched more of it.

153
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,840
Okay.

154
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,480
I'm watching Dragon Ball Dime, which is what is that?

155
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,200
So what is that?

156
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:35,840
It's a it's a continuation or is it like a place?

157
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,320
It takes place in between Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super.

158
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:40,560
Oh, okay.

159
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:46,360
And the concept is that one of the like a king of the demon shows up and wishes that

160
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:51,400
Goku and friends all became like first graders.

161
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Oh, that's right.

162
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Okay.

163
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:55,880
I remember now.

164
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,880
Yeah.

165
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,120
That's the that's the premise of that one.

166
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,120
Gotcha.

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,120
Yeah.

168
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,240
I feel like I watched something else recently too.

169
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,240
But I can't remember what it is.

170
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,720
Did you watch more trainers?

171
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,720
No, I haven't watched any more.

172
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Sorry.

173
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,720
I finished Dan and Dan.

174
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,720
That was it.

175
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,720
I think I talked about that.

176
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,720
Oh God.

177
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,720
I don't think you talked about it.

178
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,720
Oh, okay.

179
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,720
I finished Dan to Dan all 12 episodes of that.

180
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,720
Yep.

181
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,920
It was fine.

182
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,520
I have oddly very few opinions about it.

183
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Yeah.

184
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,520
I think it's fine.

185
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,520
Yes.

186
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,960
I don't know.

187
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,160
Maybe our show Joe listeners here will agree with me that it's very off putting the things

188
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,040
that take place in the first episode.

189
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,040
Oh, yeah.

190
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,520
I already talked about that.

191
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,520
Yes.

192
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,520
They don't do that.

193
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,520
They double down on the finale with that.

194
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520
They do it again.

195
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,520
Yep.

196
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:53,760
So unfortunately, I think that's just part of what the show thinks is good stakes or

197
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:54,760
something.

198
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,560
I don't know.

199
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,560
Not great.

200
00:08:57,560 --> 00:08:58,560
Yeah.

201
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,200
Yesterday is a cool if I transition to.

202
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:03,200
Yeah.

203
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,200
I've talked enough.

204
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,000
Ask me how I'm doing Joe.

205
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
How are you doing?

206
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Good.

207
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:17,800
Yesterday was my brother's 15th birthday and we went to this place called activate gaming,

208
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:24,520
which was really cool because it's basically all these rooms with different like games

209
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,880
you play, not like video games, but like activity games that you play.

210
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,880
And there's like different modes for each one.

211
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,920
They can do competitive or cooperative.

212
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:40,600
Like one of them is like there's lasers and you have to like avoid them and go from side

213
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:41,760
to side.

214
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:49,280
And then one is like running around and pressing your color and the right numeric order the

215
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,280
fastest.

216
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:58,440
And so it was like very active and I was so winded and we had an hour to do it and I

217
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,560
didn't want to waste those like go, go, go.

218
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,480
It was exhausting, but it was really cool and fun.

219
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:09,240
And so I'm glad to know that that exists now.

220
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,120
Sorry, my cap's acting crazy right now.

221
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,640
And it turns out my.

222
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,160
Brothers friends are cooler than I thought because they like anime.

223
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,400
But then one of them said they love Dandadanas like, oh dear God, they're getting you so

224
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,400
young.

225
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,000
I mean, that's like it's like the most it's one of the most popular shows right now.

226
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
I feel like you can't just be.

227
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,800
It's not that bad.

228
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,160
It's totally fine.

229
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,720
Only shown in though.

230
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Nothing else is clicking with them.

231
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Cause that's as popular.

232
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,840
I went to activate last week actually.

233
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,360
That's weird that you mentioned that.

234
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,360
Yeah.

235
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,440
Like my friend randomly just like, oh, you want to go to this thing?

236
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,440
It was like on Monday.

237
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:57,920
I was like, yeah, okay.

238
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,360
And then we just went and I was like, wow, this is great.

239
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,880
It's crazy.

240
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,040
I liked it a lot.

241
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,360
Like I just do that for exercise or something.

242
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,360
It was so exhausting.

243
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,960
Cause like the it's like cardio.

244
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,840
It's very like you just whatever it's how you're like lungs feel after sprinting is like

245
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,040
how I felt after doing some of those.

246
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,920
So it is cool.

247
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:33,520
So yeah, friend activity idea if I ever do friend gatherings.

248
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,520
Let's see.

249
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,520
What else?

250
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,800
Still rewatching high Q.

251
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:45,960
I freaking I went to the gym this week once by like vigorously walked on the treadmill

252
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,040
for 40 minutes watching a high Q.

253
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,640
So maybe if I just watch Anna while I do it, that will make it better for me or easier.

254
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,600
Cause it's literally like a minute or two.

255
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,680
It's like one minute walk from my apartment to get to our gym complex.

256
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:07,520
So I really ought to be utilizing it more.

257
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,720
So maybe I will.

258
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,800
Let's see.

259
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:19,360
Went on a date and then last night after the birthday thing, I, me and my sister met up

260
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,600
with some of her friends to go this karaoke bar and I had like gone up to the bar to ask

261
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,880
for some water and then someone offered to buy me a drink.

262
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,360
I said no cause I was like, oh, I already have a drink.

263
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,360
But I was like, ooh, look at me.

264
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,360
I got it.

265
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Just disgusting from running around like crazy sweaty and I still got it.

266
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,360
Yeah.

267
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:49,320
Oh, oh, the biggest thing I've been doing this week is I started playing field.

268
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:56,320
So I've been playing fields of Mistra, Mistria, which is a farming sim kind of like style,

269
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,040
like a Stardew Valley, but I would say more detailed art style.

270
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,600
Like I like that character portraits more and I'm really, really liking it.

271
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,320
So I've put about like probably 20 hours in this week.

272
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,320
Oh yeah.

273
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,320
It's like a 2D kind of thing.

274
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,320
It's quite charming.

275
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,320
Yes.

276
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,320
I'm liking it.

277
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,320
And yeah.

278
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,320
So that's what I've been doing for the most part.

279
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,320
And then I started watching Rosa Versailles this morning.

280
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,320
And I think I went in with pretty neutral expectations.

281
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,320
I don't know.

282
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,320
I felt like as soon as I started watching it, I was like, okay, yeah, I can get into this.

283
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:39,320
But yeah, there's definitely funny little animation things that happen that we'll talk about.

284
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,320
If you want to go into it.

285
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,320
All right.

286
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,320
So let's talk about the Rosa Versailles.

287
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,320
So this is a new show normally for new shows.

288
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,320
We'll talk about some of the development pieces of it.

289
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,320
And then later on in the show, we'll get into like voice actress stuff like that.

290
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,320
So I'm going to start with the manga here.

291
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,320
So the manga Rosa Versailles was created by Ryoko Ikata.

292
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,320
She was part of Japan.

293
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,320
I pulled this off from Wikipedia.

294
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,320
So this is not, you could go look this up yourself.

295
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,320
This is not going to be, I didn't do like a biography, like in-depth thing.

296
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,320
But she was part of Japan's new left political movement, which happened in the 1960s,

297
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,320
which included some ideas about like the French Revolution.

298
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,320
So this is where she said she read a lot about the French Revolution.

299
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,320
She became a Shoujo manga artist in 1967.

300
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,320
In the 1960s, Shoujo manga was mostly geared towards like elementary school girls

301
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,320
and kind of had like very simple kind of plots.

302
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,320
But in the 70s, there's a new generation of Shoujo authors referred to as the Year 24 Group,

303
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,320
which is a reference to like the current year of the Shoe Era and the Japanese calendar.

304
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,320
It's like based on who the emperor is, et cetera, et cetera.

305
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,320
That's why it's called that.

306
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:55,320
This group of Shoujo artists like heavily influenced the manga in general,

307
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,320
like going forward with like introducing more complex themes and genres and subjects and stuff.

308
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,320
And this is where like Yuri comes in from and like stuff like that, right?

309
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,320
So this is where everything gets a little bit more complicated in terms of like what's being published in the Shoujo space.

310
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:15,320
And I can't as often regarded as like a member of this, although there's some stuff about like who's actually in it.

311
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,320
Because I guess like people did actually correspond and things like that.

312
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:26,320
But was a person in this group, like in this era of artists that like, you know, did more complex stuff.

313
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Interestingly, originally the manga was supposed to be a biography of Marie Antoinette,

314
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:40,320
but the editors didn't exactly love that idea and didn't like give a lot of attention to this comic.

315
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:46,320
So she largely seemed to incorporate audience feedback in terms of like how the story was going to progress.

316
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Oscar, the main character of the show, was actually introduced as a side character and was apparently modeled after

317
00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Bjorgen Driessen, the actor, or I guess that's a... Who would I know them? What would I know them from?

318
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:10,320
What would you know them from? That's a good question. Let me... Let me look up where I saw that.

319
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:17,320
Oh, yeah, actor, musician, best known for playing 14 year olds, somebody...

320
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:23,320
Oh, I see. Okay, well, I'm looking at photos. I don't know that I know them from anything, but the hair spot on.

321
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Yeah, this is like a person who I just know for... I guess they were in mid-summer in 2019, but older than...

322
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,320
Yeah, yeah, this... I don't recognize any of these movies, but this is like a famous person that I've seen before.

323
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:38,320
Anyway, that's who Oscar is kind of based off of Lookwise.

324
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,320
And Oscar was so popular that she eventually becomes the main character, essentially.

325
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:48,320
So originally this is about Marie Antoinette, which is, you know, interesting in terms of like how...

326
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:53,320
We'll see how much that shows up in the show, but apparently the manga kind of switches over.

327
00:16:53,320 --> 00:17:03,320
Well, I wonder... I guess at the time, was everyone as well aware of how things went down for her as they are now?

328
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,320
Doesn't she get like beheaded or something?

329
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,320
Yeah, she gets killed during the French Revolution.

330
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:16,320
Yeah, so I wonder if that was like news... I don't know if that like is what takes place in the series,

331
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:23,320
but I wonder how like the readers of this in Japan were... How familiar they were with all that.

332
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,320
From what I looked like, I didn't read through the whole thing because I don't want to like go into plot stuff,

333
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,320
but I know that it goes to the French Revolution time period.

334
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:34,320
So I assume that, yeah, she does go up to the part where she gets killed.

335
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,320
She's executed, so that's my guess.

336
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:45,320
Yeah, anyway, so, you know, this was like a super popular manga, you know, Breakout hit, both in Japan and internationally.

337
00:17:45,320 --> 00:18:00,320
Rosa Versailles, the anime, or so the the manga came out in 73, and then the anime came out in 79.

338
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:07,320
And it was animated by Tokyo Movie Shinsha Studio, which is now named TMS Entertainment.

339
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:14,320
They've made anime series such as Detective Conan, which maybe you've heard of the most long run thing ever.

340
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,320
They also made...

341
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:22,320
Yeah, it's a big... When I went to Japan 2019, like there was signage and stuff everywhere,

342
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,320
and I was like, isn't this like an old-ass anime? Like, why is this everywhere?

343
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:32,320
They're still making it. They also animated Lupin the Third. You may have heard of it.

344
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,320
You don't pronounce it Lupin.

345
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,320
Lupin, Lupin.

346
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,320
I thought about naming a ferret that. I thought that'd be such a good name for a ferret.

347
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,320
Yeah, Lupin.

348
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:49,320
Yep, another huge franchise there, like kind of like a goofy James Bond type, except he's a thief.

349
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:54,320
They also make Anpanman, which is like a big long running kids thing.

350
00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:01,320
Magic Knight, Rareth, Cyber Six, KamiSamaKiss, and they also made the fruits basket remake.

351
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,320
So quite a few big ones under their belt.

352
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,320
Yes, long running studios still making stuff.

353
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:14,320
The first 13... Sorry, are the villains are going to make the remake of Magic Knight's Rearth?

354
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,320
I don't think so. I didn't see that on their Wikipedia page.

355
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,320
Gotcha.

356
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:28,320
The first 13 episodes of ResinforCybe was directed by Tadal Nagahama, who did a lot of like super robot anime.

357
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,320
But apparently he dropped out after episode 13 after having a disagreement with a voice actor over some policy.

358
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,320
I didn't really understand this in the Wikipedia thing. I didn't look into it more.

359
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:46,320
But from episode 19 onward, it was directed by Osamu Tezaki, who directed classics such as Ashutano Joe,

360
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,320
which is like a fighting about boxing, really old.

361
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,320
Also directed Aim for the Ace, the thing I just mentioned.

362
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:54,320
Yes.

363
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,320
As well as the four Hamtaro movies.

364
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,320
Ooh, Hamtaro. Nice, nice.

365
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,320
That's pretty slight.

366
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,320
Quite the diverse portfolio for that director.

367
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,320
Yeah, yeah.

368
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:14,320
This was back in the day. So, you know, lots of different, you could jump from thing to thing pretty easily, it seems like.

369
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,320
Anyway, so that's what's going on here.

370
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320
We're going to cover two episodes today.

371
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,320
We'll probably cover three going forward.

372
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,320
I guess we can talk about it. How much we want to cover these first two episodes.

373
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:32,320
I have written a lot because I have context of like the names of characters and stuff like that.

374
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:38,320
And I tried to look up some historical stuff if you had questions about like who people actually are during the French Revolution.

375
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:49,320
Most of my knowledge from the French Revolution comes from the podcast series, Revolutions, which kind of goes through episodically of like things that happen sequentially.

376
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,320
It's a really good podcast if you like history.

377
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:57,320
But I listened to that about like five years ago, so it's a little bit rusty, but I had some details on some stuff.

378
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,320
Cool. Sounds good.

379
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,320
All right, let's do this.

380
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:07,320
The first episode of the Rose of Versailles is called Oscar, the Destiny of Roses.

381
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,320
We open on a stormy night where a man patiently waits to hear news of his newly born child.

382
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,320
He hears crying and rushes downstairs.

383
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:20,320
He runs into a room full of women, four of which are clearly his daughters, and one is a nanny holding a baby.

384
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,320
He demands to know if the baby is a boy this time, as opposed to all the other times.

385
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:30,320
And the nanny shakes her head saying that she's a beautiful girl and we see like a, like an image of a baby.

386
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,320
That looks like it's just out of the manga panel.

387
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:39,320
A lot of this just seems like it's out of like they just took a page and colored it in.

388
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,320
It's pretty, it's pretty cool.

389
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:49,320
The man is distraught and says that the family of generals who command the military and protects the royal family has no need for a girl.

390
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,320
And he begins to storm off, but then he gets a devious idea.

391
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,320
He turns, he returns and grabs the baby, holding her up and declares that she will be his son.

392
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,320
He names her Oscar as the OP plays.

393
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,320
Oh my God.

394
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Okay.

395
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,320
I don't like that name.

396
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,320
I don't like that name.

397
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:15,320
I could have been a more like flexible name or one that you can have a cute nickname spun off of.

398
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,320
Oh, I think that's the point though, right?

399
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,320
Like he didn't pick like Jean or something.

400
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,320
You're like John that could be like more neutral.

401
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,320
I think it like specifically was supposed to be a masculine name.

402
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,320
Yeah.

403
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,320
Also, it's like, well, apparently he sucks as a dad.

404
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:37,320
Her, her sisters, I guess we don't, we haven't seen them since, but no.

405
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,320
Also, it's like, did her mom die then and there?

406
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:47,320
And he just was like, whatever, I just need to know about the kid not following up.

407
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,320
Yeah.

408
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,320
What happened to the mother?

409
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,320
The mom never has come up in these episodes.

410
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,320
We've never seen her.

411
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:54,320
No one's ever referred to her.

412
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,320
It was like one point where she's like looking at a picture of a woman that might be her.

413
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,320
But even that, I'm not sure.

414
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Just no, no further information about what the hell happened.

415
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,320
No.

416
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,320
So the OP plays and I think the OP is pretty good.

417
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Good.

418
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:20,320
And it seems like big text was like a thing because there's a lot of like text covering,

419
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:26,320
but I think the song is pretty good and the visuals are really good.

420
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:27,320
Yeah.

421
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,320
Well, this airs on TVs in the, in the 80s when TVs were really small.

422
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,320
So the text has to be big.

423
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,320
Yeah.

424
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,320
The square acts aspect ratio.

425
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:36,320
Yeah.

426
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,320
Yeah.

427
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,320
The three, four aspect ratio and the text has to be big because you're probably watching

428
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,320
on a fairly small TV.

429
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Right.

430
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,320
Crap equality.

431
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,320
So you can't even make out what says if it's not big.

432
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,320
Yeah.

433
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,320
That makes sense.

434
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,320
There's a lot of like closeups on people's faces and stuff, which I assume is for that

435
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,320
effect, whereas it's like you can see the whole thing.

436
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:59,320
Anyway, so after we finished with the opening, we skip ahead and it's 14 years in the future.

437
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,320
We learned that the year is 1769, 20 years before the French Revolution.

438
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Today is a royal ball that is being enjoyed by the nobility while they ignore the plight

439
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,320
of the common folk.

440
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:13,320
Two women approach General Jarje's, the man from earlier.

441
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,320
They ask him about his mysterious child Oscar.

442
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,320
Notably, they refer to her as a she while he refers to her as a he.

443
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,320
So people seem to understand what's happening.

444
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,320
Like that's part of the rumor mill.

445
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,320
We cut to Oscar and a boy named Andre sparring with sabers.

446
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,320
Oscar is able to disarm Andre, catching his sword through the guard of her blade.

447
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,320
And we get a closeup on her face that looks just like a panel from the manga.

448
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,320
So they're doing this a lot where it's like we go to what could be a panel.

449
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,320
She cheeses or she teases Andre and gives him his sword back.

450
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,320
They keep sparring the nanny from before yells at them from out the window to stop playing with

451
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,320
swords.

452
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,320
We learned that she's Andre's grandma and that makes him a commoner.

453
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:02,320
So he is not like nobility or upper echelon in the way that Oscar is.

454
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,320
Andre is like, oh, my grandma's here, Oscar.

455
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:11,320
And then the grandma yells at him for addressing Oscar so casually.

456
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:17,320
We see that the nanny is sewing a dress for Oscar because she wants her to be a like proper lady.

457
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,320
We cut to general Jarje is having a meeting with the current French King Louis the 15th.

458
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,320
We learn that there is an opening as the commander of the Royal Guard and that there are currently two candidates.

459
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,320
One is some guy's son and the other is Oscar.

460
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:37,320
Jarje vouches for his son's swordsmanship and Louis is like, oh, your son, huh?

461
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:44,320
And Jarje tries to clarify, but Louis laughs and says that he just like he knows he like, I know you're like raising your

462
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,320
daughter to be your son or whatever.

463
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:47,320
It's funny.

464
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:53,320
The King decides the position will be filled by whoever can win in a sword fight.

465
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,320
And he adds that he hopes Oscar wins because he wants someone elegant to guard Marie Antoinette.

466
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,320
We get some exposition about the state of Europe.

467
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:06,320
France and Austria are in constant military conflict, which is draining both countries resources.

468
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,320
The French King is ready to fight for the Habsburg ruler of Austria.

469
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,320
Empress Maria Theresa proposes a peace treaty between the two countries to seal the deal.

470
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:21,320
She promised her youngest daughter Marie Antoinette to be married to the future King of France, the current Dofan of France,

471
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:22,320
Louis the 16th.

472
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,320
We cut to Oscar and the general.

473
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:31,320
He tells her that if she becomes commander of the Guard, it will be a high honor, and she'll be responsible for guarding Marie Antoinette.

474
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:37,320
And then she's in a form and tells her to put it on. Oscar is unimpressed and declares that she doesn't want to babysit some girl.

475
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,320
She calls her a shrew or something.

476
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,320
Yeah, she's like really mean.

477
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Sorry about it.

478
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,320
Yeah, it's pretty good.

479
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,320
Elsewhere Andre is looking for Oscar.

480
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,320
We see an enraged general throw Oscar down the stairs calling her a fool.

481
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,320
She leaves and he calls after her that the match is tomorrow and that the King himself will be there.

482
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320
So she better be there and then Oscar runs off.

483
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,320
We cut to the dueling yard where everything's being set up.

484
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:08,320
Everyone has come here to see the mysterious Lady Oscar, but she's still not there.

485
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:15,320
The general is terrified that Oscar isn't showing up since the match is in 30 minutes and she's not there as the King arrives.

486
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,320
We cut to a fancy lad riding a horse with his retainer.

487
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,320
He's Giroudel.

488
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,320
Giroudel, I don't know how to say these are all French names.

489
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,320
So I'm going to pronounce all of these wrong.

490
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,320
Thank God you're doing the recap.

491
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,320
He's Giroudel, the other dualist like the other person that could be the commander of the guard.

492
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,320
His retainer is like, shouldn't we be going to the dual site, my lord?

493
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:40,320
And Giroudel is reluctant because like he doesn't want to become commander of the guard by beating a woman in a duel.

494
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,320
That's hardly an honorable way to become the commander.

495
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,320
They crest a hill and they find Lady Oscar just waiting for them.

496
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,320
She's like, hey, I've been waiting for you.

497
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,320
I'm Lady Oscar.

498
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,320
And Giroudel is like, wow, aren't you beautiful?

499
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,320
Anyway, I guess we should go to the dueling grounds or whatever.

500
00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:00,320
Oscar tells him that she has no intention of becoming the commander of the guard and Giroudel is like, oh, well, that's perfect.

501
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,320
I'll let the king know that you withdrew.

502
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:08,320
But then Oscar clarifies that she isn't running away because she's afraid of Giroudel and came here to prove that point to him.

503
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:13,320
Giroudel laughs at the thought that he would lose to some woman.

504
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,320
Oscar clarified that she does not want to shame him in front of a crowd.

505
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,320
So I don't want to beat you at swordplay in front of everybody.

506
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,320
Or is he afraid of losing to a woman?

507
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:29,320
Giroudel gets off of his horse and is like, yeah, we can duel if you want, but I don't know how I feel about pouring a sword at a woman.

508
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,320
Oscar points her sword at him and says that she might be a woman, but she's also a warrior.

509
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,320
Giroudel draws his sword.

510
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,320
They duel.

511
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Eventually Oscar slices his shirt and wins.

512
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Giroudel wants to keep going, though, and she ends up disarming him similar to how she disarmed Andre earlier.

513
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,320
We cut to an angry King Louis.

514
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,320
He's like, where the hell are these kids?

515
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,320
What I've been waiting here.

516
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,320
And just then Giroudel's retainer rides in and declares that the two were dueling in the fields and everybody is horrified.

517
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,320
We cut to General Jarje's as he slaps Oscar.

518
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,320
He tells her that defying the King's orders makes her a traitor.

519
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,320
And if she wasn't so rebellious and just did what he said, then none of this would have happened.

520
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,320
We jump to the nanny who is getting drunk on wine.

521
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Andre is like, come on, Grandma, you got to slow down.

522
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:27,320
And they talk about how Oscar is charged with treason and then the grandma falls to the floor and laments that Oscar is in a battle between her future into either manhood or womanhood.

523
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,320
I like nanny.

524
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,320
Yeah, just hammering.

525
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,320
Just a little power in the back.

526
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,320
It's pretty good.

527
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,320
Yes.

528
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,320
Andre goes to see Oscar.

529
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:46,320
He knocks on her door and Oscar performatively sits down in a chair and returns to read a book before letting him in.

530
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:54,320
It starts storming outside and Andre goes to close the window, but Oscar very dramatically tells him to leave it open because she likes storms.

531
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:59,320
Oscar starts to get philosophical as she wonders what she should do because she really doesn't want to babysit some royal.

532
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,320
Andre is like, is this really what the problem is?

533
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,320
Like, is this like, is this what you're like worried about?

534
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,320
And Oscar looks at him shocked that he would even suggest otherwise.

535
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,320
The wind blows out the candles in the room, leaving them in the dark and Oscar tells Andre to leave.

536
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,320
It's super dramatic.

537
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,320
So dramatic.

538
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,320
We see a carriage return to the estate.

539
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,320
General Jarjez has returned and wants to talk to Andre.

540
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:32,320
He tells Andre that the king was pissed, but Gerardel told him that she beat him in a duel and that Oscar should be made the commander of the guard.

541
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,320
He's like, Andre, you're her best friend.

542
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,320
You have to convince her to take this position.

543
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,320
I can't.

544
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,320
She's not going to listen to me because, you know, my daughter's rebellious or whatever.

545
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,320
Because I'm a shitty dad and I don't deserve her respect.

546
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,320
Yeah.

547
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:49,320
Because also, I'm like her like shitting her down the stairs.

548
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:53,320
God.

549
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,320
We pan over to see that outside in the rain, Oscar is listening in on their conversation.

550
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,320
It's the next day.

551
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,320
Oscar and Andre go for a ride on their horses.

552
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,320
They stop at a lake and take a break.

553
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:12,320
Andre starts reminiscing about the past while Oscar wonders how long it'll take for him to just like tell her to become the commander or whatever.

554
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,320
Andre starts whistling on a blade of grass and Oscar is out enough.

555
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,320
She's like, all right, you got to knock that off.

556
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,320
Don't you just like just tell me to be the commander already.

557
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Andre refuses saying that she should just do what she wants to.

558
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,320
And she's like, oh, oh, I see here.

559
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,320
Yeah, you're doing some reverse psychology, huh?

560
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,320
You think the rebellious Oscar is going to do whatever the opposite of what you say.

561
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,320
You're trying to coerce me to doing this.

562
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,320
And Andre is like, what?

563
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,320
And then he like grabs her by the collar and she shoves him.

564
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,320
So Andre comes back with a punch to the jaw.

565
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,320
I thought that was crazy at first.

566
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,320
I was like, that escalated.

567
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,320
Yes.

568
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:45,320
What's happening?

569
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,320
They both look at each other and they're like, oh, are we going to do this?

570
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,320
The answer is yes, they are going to do this.

571
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,320
And they get into a long manly fight with each other.

572
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,320
Andre is winning and eventually knocks Oscar like into a tree.

573
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:04,320
There's a moment of silence for the background brightens as Oscar decides to make her decision about what her future is going to be.

574
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,320
She gets back up and Andre thinks to himself that Oscar is finally spirited.

575
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,320
They continue to fight until they're both exhausted on the ground.

576
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:29,320
I like how there's like literal twinkle, like a twinkle in their eyes sometimes, like their eye just like shines with a little light effect on it to show like determination and stuff like that.

577
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:30,320
It's so funny.

578
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,320
Yeah, there's a lot of flair in this.

579
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,320
That's really good.

580
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,320
They're both on the ground.

581
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,320
Andre reaches for Oscar's hand.

582
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:47,320
Oscar tells him that he was listening or that she was listening in on her father and his conversation last night.

583
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Andre tells her that he really does think that she should make her own decision.

584
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:57,320
Oscar remounts her horse and starts to ride away as Andre yells after her that it's not too late for her to become a woman again.

585
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:02,320
We cut to Andre letting General George's note that he has no idea what Oscar is going to do.

586
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:11,320
General George is like, well, this is unacceptable. It goes to like see Oscar, but he only gets to the foot of the stairs and is shocked to see Oscar in her full military uniform.

587
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:16,320
She walks down the stairs thinking to herself that she isn't doing this for her father or anyone else.

588
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,320
We get a scene where Oscar and Andre are on horseback as rose petals dot the screen.

589
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:27,320
A voice, a voice over tells us that the day Oscar left her woman behind and took her first steps into adulthood.

590
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,320
She was 14 as we cut to credits.

591
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,320
14 is crazy.

592
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,320
As was different to be the commander of the military.

593
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,320
Of the Royal Guard.

594
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,320
I think this I don't know. I mean, this is like definitely like a nepotism position, right?

595
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,320
Like there are actual people there who know how to do that job.

596
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:49,320
Oh, my gosh.

597
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,320
It's very first episode.

598
00:33:52,320 --> 00:34:00,320
Andres Q and Oscar is so abrasive.

599
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:10,320
I'm assuming it's going to be like she becomes friends with Maria and then like starts to soften a little bit.

600
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,320
Hopefully she is sharp and prickly right now.

601
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:19,320
Dude, I love Oscar. She's so funny.

602
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:31,320
And part where like Andre knocks on the door and she goes from like staring at a portrait of her mom to like sitting into a chair pretending to read because she doesn't want her childhood friend to think that she's not doing something elegant is so funny to me.

603
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:32,320
She's very dramatic.

604
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:41,320
She just like opens to a random page and then halfway through her like musing about what she should do. She throws the book against the wall. It's like so extra.

605
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,320
Yes.

606
00:34:44,320 --> 00:35:05,320
Yeah, it's kind of it's like I don't know if we're going to get more context for like, you know, obviously, like, did he raise her specifically like trying to hide gender or just to raise as a son but like not hiding the fact that she's actually a woman.

607
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,320
Yeah.

608
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:16,320
Like the secret's out. It's no secret at all, I guess. And it's like different people decide to address her different. Well, he's the only one calling her a he.

609
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,320
Right.

610
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,320
Yeah.

611
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:25,320
So hopefully we dive more into like how this came to be.

612
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:36,320
Yeah, it's interesting because like like Geerdale recognizes immediately that she's a woman. You know what I mean? Like it's not she is not hiding it at this point. But this is also like this is the episode where she decides what her path is going to be.

613
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:43,320
Much more related to like gender roles in terms of like what your job is going to be more so than how you're going to present yourself.

614
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:56,320
So I think that like is interesting in terms of like it's a thing everybody knows, but everyone just kind of goes along with it. And it seems like they go along with it because they just find it kind of interesting.

615
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:08,320
It's like King Louis is just like, oh yeah, I know about your like your daughter who you're raising as a son. That's kind of funny. But I guess it would be cool. Like a like a pretty woman guarding Marie Antoinette.

616
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:13,320
That would be like elegant and fun, but like not really taking it seriously. You know what I mean?

617
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:25,320
Yeah, it's yeah. And that's just episode one. And we really got a lot to think about. So this is one even like Geerdale when he loses the duel. He does go to the King and is just like but she like one.

618
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,320
So you should you should promote her, which was interesting. I didn't eyes.

619
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,320
He's going to show up next episode. He might be a character that shows up. Yeah.

620
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:41,320
But yeah, so like they all respect the ability like Oscar's ability. So that's interesting. Yes.

621
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:51,320
But yeah, she decides to be a man by putting on military uniform and a man's position.

622
00:36:51,320 --> 00:37:00,320
It'll be interesting because we I feel like we don't actually hear her talk that much. It's a lot of like discussion about her.

623
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:11,320
Like so far, she's just been much more like a character and with actions and not words. So it'll be interesting to hear how she like talks.

624
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:23,320
So you know, refresh refers to herself and all that. Like, is she going to introduce herself as a dude or is it just the mindset?

625
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:31,320
Or is it just throwing away what womanhood would be but not necessarily trying to become a dude?

626
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,320
Yeah, well, it's like the most like thematically interesting show we've covered, I think.

627
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:48,320
Yeah. Yeah. Well, and part of the reason she's like so clearly hates the idea of guarding Marie Antoinette is like, I have to guard this like prissy woman who's like the type of prissy woman that I was supposed to be.

628
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,320
Yeah.

629
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:55,320
Though it's like a rejection of that, which we'll see. I'm interested to see how that goes when they actually interact.

630
00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:01,320
But we only get introduced to Marie on episode two. Let's get to it.

631
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:09,320
Episode two is called flutter Austria's butterfly. We open on Lady Oscar thinking about her first job to receive Marie Antoinette starts today.

632
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:18,320
General Jarjez rushes in to inform her that there's been a plot or they know about a plot to kidnap Marie Antoinette and tells Oscar to stand in as a double.

633
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,320
He hands her a dress so they can she can like pretend to be her. But Oscar throws down the dress disgusted.

634
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:33,320
Jarjez is like, you're not going to abandon your duty, right? And then Oscar turns to him and draws her sword saying that she swears on her uniform and sword that she will fulfill her duty as the OP plays.

635
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:46,320
Well, I can see that being annoying. If like, you've just decided like, you know, if I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this this way and then immediately have them, you know, try to take advantage of the part of her.

636
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:55,320
She's trying to get rid of as and then it's like, or you just brought on because you can play as a double and that you're a woman and not for other reasons.

637
00:38:55,320 --> 00:39:04,320
Yeah. Yeah. She's like, I didn't come here to be double. I'm the commander of the guard. Thank you. Yes. Yes. Yeah. You want to ask this of a dude? Yeah. Yeah.

638
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,320
Like what a jerk. Yeah.

639
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:22,320
We jump back and we get some exposition saying that in seven, it's 1770 now and Marie Antoinette is going to France for her marriage. She's being received at the Sandbank of the Rhine River on the border between France and Austria.

640
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:27,320
And this was decided after a full year of negotiations. So they've known about this for a long time.

641
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:38,320
Much time passed between the first episode and this or one year. Okay. 15 now. 15 boss on the scene. That's right.

642
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:53,320
We jump to Vienna where we see a young Marie Antoinette chasing around a butterfly in a fountain. Her Marquis finer and like scold her for getting her dress wet, but she's like totally unbothered and is like, look, I caught this butterfly and shows him the butterfly.

643
00:39:53,320 --> 00:40:07,320
It flies away as she watches. Okay. Her giggles. I'm like, shut up. I hate it. I hate the weird giggles and like manic pixie vibes or whatever is happening here.

644
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:19,320
Overly curly. Yes. But yeah, no. So far I'm like, you know, I she's being everything that Oscar is dreading. Yes.

645
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,320
This is perfect. She's like the platonic ideal of like the carefree young woman.

646
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:34,320
I'm like, dude, Oscar is going to hate you so much. So much. Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's like way over the top. It's great.

647
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:43,320
From the Vienna Palace, Empress Maria Teresa watches Marie and thinks to herself that she might have made a mistake by giving her to France.

648
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:51,320
We get an incredible dream sequence where like an image of Maria is burned up and disintegrates and it's awesome. What?

649
00:40:51,320 --> 00:41:02,320
I just, uh-huh. So cool. You didn't think this is cool. I mean, I was just like, I was like, oh, she didn't fully disintegrate.

650
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:13,320
She didn't disintegrate. Just her body and her heads floating there. I was just more distracted by that. Like her hair and head were still like they didn't fully eviscerate her.

651
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:20,320
Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's what I was distracted. I wasn't like, ah, yeah. Cool effect.

652
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:27,320
Yeah. The Empress snaps out of it and remembers that this was the only way to secure peace between the nations.

653
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:33,320
We cut Marie wearing an elegant red dress. Her attendance fawn over her as she admires herself in the mirror.

654
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:42,320
Empress Teresa comes in and very seriously tells her that she, Maria, has very good virtues, but she's also capricious, overly playful and a shallow thinker.

655
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:51,320
She hands her a scroll with instructions for her to follow once she gets to France. She's like, read this over every day so you know how to carry yourself.

656
00:41:51,320 --> 00:42:04,320
I was like, damn, shallow thinker, savage. You got to tell her like, listen, they're going to eat you alive there unless you like to get a hold of it.

657
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:15,320
I think she said with the scroll she handed read this on this day of every month. So I don't know what that is going to entail necessarily.

658
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,320
Yeah. Yeah. We'll see.

659
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:23,320
Marie sadly looks at her mother who she may not see again for a long time.

660
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,320
Time grows closer to her departure. Marie cries and tells her mother that she doesn't want to go.

661
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,320
Her mother gives her a ring and they share one last embrace.

662
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:37,320
We cut to a sequence where Marie Antoinette passes through a crowd in the carriage and she arrives at the neutral handoff zone.

663
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,320
We cut to Lady Oscar checking it on the guards while riding her white horse.

664
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:48,320
Andre comes up to her and tells her that security is so high that there's no way anybody will try anything.

665
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:55,320
And then we like pan the camera over to two men in a crowd running off into the forest where they meet a caveman with an enormous hat.

666
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,320
You love a big hat.

667
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:02,320
I love a big hat. This guy is like real goofy about being the villain. It's so good.

668
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,320
Very much so.

669
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:18,320
What if his men is like everything is in place. Duke Orleon in the Cape Man is immediately like dude I told you not to use like people's names and he stabs that guy just on spot killing him right there.

670
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,320
Lucen gone.

671
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,320
It's so funny.

672
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:27,320
Well there's no blood and there's everything stabbed and there's no blood.

673
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:28,320
No.

674
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,320
Oh man.

675
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:37,320
Crazy. Duke Orleon orders his henchmen Jean to come out and we see that she is dressed up just like Marie Antoinette.

676
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:43,320
His henchmen run off and Duke Orleon thinks to himself that he'll foil the wedding and then he'll become the next king of France.

677
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,320
I totally thought that was a chick.

678
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:55,320
It's weird because I think it is but they keep referring to it as a guy. So maybe it's like a boy. I don't know.

679
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,320
Yeah, I guess.

680
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,320
The devil is weird. I didn't pay too much attention to what they were actually saying.

681
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,320
Okay, the translation.

682
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,320
A dub.

683
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,320
I'm sorry not the dub. The subtitles I meant.

684
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:08,320
Okay. Yeah.

685
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:16,320
We cut to Marie Antoinette. She's been informed that as part of the deal she can't bring anything from Austria with her including her clothes and the ring that her mother gave her.

686
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,320
She refuses this and then runs off.

687
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:29,320
Outside Lady Oscar gets news that there's been some issue with Marie. Geredel shows up and tells Marie or no tells Lady Oscar that Marie is complaining about the marriage.

688
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,320
And he's like, yeah, you know how women are.

689
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:34,320
Oh my God.

690
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:45,320
She tells him to go inform the king of the delay and Lady Oscar is like God, I hate it when someone changes their mind at the last minute and Andre last pointing out this is exactly what she did last episode.

691
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,320
You tell her.

692
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:54,320
Oscar is like, I am nothing like Marie Antoinette. Thank you.

693
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,320
It's very funny.

694
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:07,320
Oscar then sees an attendant. It looks just like Marie entered the building that Marie is in for the handoff and she wants to go investigate but Andre is like you're just like two on edge like nothing's going to happen.

695
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:11,320
Inside the building all the attendants are looking for Marie who's run off to hide somewhere.

696
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:18,320
She comes out and sees another attendant posing as her. She sees the henchman that's posing at her like beckon her over.

697
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:25,320
The henchmen suggest that they swap places so that Marie can escape the building as an attendant.

698
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:33,320
The henchman reveals herself now dressed as Marie in like the dress and stuff like that so that the actual Marie Antoinette can exit the building.

699
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:41,320
We cut to the stand and at the handoff as she walks from the Austrian side to the French side as the handoff has taken place outside.

700
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:51,320
Lady Oscar sees Marie dress as an attendant leave the building and she recognizes that that that's a different attendant than she saw and then follows after her.

701
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:56,320
Marie goes to a cave where I guess the like henchmen told her to go.

702
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,320
Must have right.

703
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:06,320
She goes no other way. She was the reason she got there. However, in the cave Duke Orleans men appear in attempt to abduct her.

704
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:12,320
But right then Lady Oscar jumps in and punches two of them out. The rest draw swords and Lady Oscar starts fighting them.

705
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:19,320
The battle rages in the cave and Marie is having a great time cheering on Oscar. She's like.

706
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:24,320
Very carefree.

707
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,320
She's like doesn't seem like she's in mortal peril at all.

708
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,320
No.

709
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:31,320
Outside.

710
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:37,320
Geredale asks Andre where Oscar is Andre tells him that she's gone and Geredale is like but the handoff already happened.

711
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,320
So like she needs to do the commander of the guard thing now.

712
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:45,320
Is this one of her would womanly whims to just run off like this?

713
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,320
And Andre just kind of smiles at him.

714
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:55,320
A guard asks for Oscar's orders and Geredale tells him that he's gonna stand in as the commander and they move out.

715
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,320
So the whole procession leads back in the cave.

716
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:04,320
Marie and Oscar have made it outside pursued by henchmen Oscar bouncer Horace and pulls Marie on to it.

717
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,320
They fought across a river while three henchmen follow on horseback.

718
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,320
Oscar cuts them down one by one leaving one injured.

719
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:18,320
She interrogates him by asking him if he's English and he's not and she's like okay well who are you but before she can get any more information out of him.

720
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,320
A knife flies into his back killing him instantly.

721
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:29,320
Oscar looks up to see the cloaked man on a horse before he rides off and she wonders who that could possibly be.

722
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:30,320
The villain.

723
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,320
The villain the big bad is here and he's throwing knives.

724
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,320
That hat makes it so obvious.

725
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,320
He's giving away his intentions with that hat.

726
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:40,320
It's so good.

727
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,320
I love his stupid hat.

728
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:54,320
We cut back to the stand in she's about to be recede by King Louie and his family when Lady Oscar rushes in and tells her or and tells him that she's a fake and the real Maria is right here.

729
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:59,320
Marie Antoinette walks into the light and sparkles as everybody recognizes that she's the real Royal one here.

730
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,320
That's the Habsburg.

731
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:07,320
Well I like how did and why she just looks they were fine with the other one until she walked in.

732
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:09,320
They're like wow she's sparkling.

733
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,320
She's going to be the one yeah.

734
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:12,720
It's really funny.

735
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:18,520
It's like just dawns on all of them at the same time without a word being spoken.

736
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,120
Just like, ah, yes.

737
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,680
I thought there was going to be like a debate and they were going to like pull

738
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,000
the wig off to reveal or something like that.

739
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,840
No, just immediately like, obviously, it's this one looking how pretty she is.

740
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,640
And everyone's like, yeah, you know, that checks out.

741
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,240
Yeah, the fake Marie makes a break for it as Oscar chases her.

742
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:42,840
However, she is cut down or he is cut down by the Duke or Leon,

743
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,720
who immediately just like slashes across her.

744
00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,800
The wig falls off, falls down dead.

745
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,040
Oscar is like, why did you kill them?

746
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,240
They were unarmed, but the Duke says that they were traitors and they deserved it.

747
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:58,520
Now, just again, he's just going to have no henchmen by season

748
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:00,120
episode five at this rate.

749
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,960
He is like killed almost as many guys as Oscar has of his own guy.

750
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,000
It's very funny. Yeah.

751
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,240
They all look the same.

752
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:11,800
They're all just like slightly different haircut henchmen.

753
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,360
Yep. It's like a set of all brothers.

754
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,640
It's one family. Oh, yes. That's right. Yeah.

755
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,360
Let's see. We cut to King Louie introducing Marie to her future husband,

756
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,160
Louie the sixteenth.

757
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,960
Louie the sixteenth is an awkward boy.

758
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,200
The king tells his son to go kiss his future bride.

759
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,040
And Louie the sixteenth walks over and kisses her on the cheek.

760
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,480
Marie thinks to herself that her future husband just kissed her

761
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,160
and her heart didn't flutter or anything because she doesn't like him.

762
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,280
No.

763
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,000
Yeah, but big bomber for her.

764
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,920
Yeah, because I'm assuming it's like, I don't know,

765
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,960
she probably fantasized about

766
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,160
how he was going to be and the reality is hitting hard.

767
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,640
Yeah, he introduces the others.

768
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,160
Yes, the king introduces the rest of the family.

769
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,480
Louie's two younger brothers and his cousin, Duke or Leon.

770
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,080
So he's OK.

771
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,800
He's the cousin.

772
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,400
So like he would take.

773
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,360
I don't like trying to think of what his plan is going to be.

774
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,320
OK, to succeed.

775
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,520
So you take out all the kids.

776
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,040
You've got to take out all the all the sons and then it goes to him.

777
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,480
Oh, yeah.

778
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,480
Yep. That that has to be the plan.

779
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,920
We can get to like what the actual history is after this.

780
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,720
We're almost done here.

781
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:40,000
The king announces that they're going to go to Versailles for the wedding

782
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,360
in the carriage. Marie looks out the window at Oscar.

783
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,480
She's like, it's crazy how if Oscar was embarrassed, I'd probably be dead.

784
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,480
Huh. And her attendance like, yeah, Oscar is a brave woman.

785
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,240
And Marie is like, Oscar is a woman.

786
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:54,840
She fell for it.

787
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,160
Yeah, the only one ever.

788
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:01,000
She looks back at Oscar and smiles and sparkles shine across the screen.

789
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,680
The carriage procession makes its way across the setting sun.

790
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,440
On horseback, we see two men.

791
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,120
One one of them says Master Furson.

792
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,080
This is Marie Antoinette's procession.

793
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,480
And Furson looks on as the narrator tells us that the fateful day

794
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,040
of the French Revolution will soon occur, even though it's 20 years from now,

795
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:22,400
which will bring Oscar, Antoinette and Furson together

796
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,520
as their destinies converge at the Palace of Versailles.

797
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,920
We're decadence and conspiracy swirls as we cut to credits.

798
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:33,800
I thought that was a good transition from like the procession moving

799
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,800
in the sunset to the silhouette on the hill.

800
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,120
And then that was a nice little yeah.

801
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,960
Yeah. No, I really like how they do the transitions here.

802
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:44,320
They do a good job of like getting from place to place.

803
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,000
And even these narrations like going from like, we're going to Versailles now,

804
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,080
we're decadence and conspiracy.

805
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,280
The things are about to go crazy.

806
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,320
Yeah. The palace entry.

807
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,680
You won't believe.

808
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,120
Narrators having a blast.

809
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,160
Yeah. Yeah.

810
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:02,680
Yeah. So that's their two episodes.

811
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,520
What do you think?

812
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,600
I I'm liking it.

813
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:12,280
Now I feel like I need to brush up on frigging French history.

814
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,200
And then it's because like they're all Japanese saying these names.

815
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:21,080
So I'm like, should I be saying them the way that they're saying them?

816
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,800
Or like, well, I know them to sound like

817
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,400
the jar. What's her dad's name?

818
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,480
I'm saying Jarjays.

819
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,880
I don't know if that's right. It's crazy. Yeah.

820
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:41,080
Yeah, I I'm liking the plot.

821
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,800
I guess this is like the first because there's like kind of historical

822
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:51,520
based show, Joe, but it's like in fantasy versions and not like

823
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:56,200
depicting actual history from what I've watched.

824
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,760
So it'll be interesting comparing like what actually happens

825
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,920
and what they they took from history for this series.

826
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,200
Yeah. What do you think, Joe?

827
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,200
I really like this. I think it's very fun.

828
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,440
I like the characters.

829
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:15,040
I like how they are presented.

830
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,640
I actually I like the animation quite a bit.

831
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,600
Some parts where they move are a little bit awkward,

832
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,200
because it seems like they kind of jump a little bit further frames

833
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,680
than you might want, because, you know, they are like manually

834
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:30,440
drawing all these frames for a TV show that they made 40 episodes of.

835
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,760
Right. But individual stills, like any time they like pause on a frame,

836
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,760
it looks fantastic.

837
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,840
Yeah. And I really like very like what you think of with the like

838
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:48,960
sparkles and thick eyelashes and like. Oh, man, it's good.

839
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,280
I highly stylized, highly expressive.

840
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,840
Yes. I you're digging Oscar.

841
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,080
I'm going to have to see more, I think,

842
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:05,160
because right now it's like punk teenager vibes, which I don't love.

843
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,440
So but if we're going into the French Revolution

844
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,400
and we see her with longer hair on the cover of the series,

845
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,200
so maybe when she's a little older, I like her more.

846
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,600
Yeah, I think we're going to have time skips in this series.

847
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,400
I mean, if you go to the French Revolution, that's 20 years, right?

848
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,560
So by the time that happens, she'll be 35.

849
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,960
So we will be I'm assuming we'll be jumping in the future.

850
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:28,960
And I think we're going to get way more into Palace intrigue stuff,

851
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,560
especially with, you know, if the beginning of the manga had Marie Antoinette

852
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,160
as the main character, we'll probably get a lot of stuff with her.

853
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,920
Yeah. And if I look at I tried to look at the Wikipedia of the major characters,

854
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:41,640
because I was trying to look up people's names.

855
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,560
I doesn't seem like the adults show up all that much.

856
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,240
Like her dad doesn't have an entry in characters.

857
00:54:47,240 --> 00:54:49,720
Oh, no. Yeah. No, he doesn't have anything.

858
00:54:49,720 --> 00:54:51,800
And neither does like the nanny or any of those people.

859
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:54,600
So. Dang, we love the nanny.

860
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,560
I know. Maybe she'll come. Shame shame.

861
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:58,920
Well, we'll have to see.

862
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,320
But there's a lot of royalty here.

863
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:03,880
So I'm excited about how this will go.

864
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:08,520
So is Versailles I'm not as familiar with French

865
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:10,760
geography and stuff.

866
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:17,120
Is that like a capital or just like a vacation home of the royal family?

867
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,680
Yeah. So that's that's where the royal palace is.

868
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,080
So the Palace of Versailles

869
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:29,040
is on the estate, you know, the Versailles estate, which is where is it?

870
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:30,600
Let me see.

871
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:36,680
It's like a really small or like a fairly small city that is outside of Paris.

872
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,360
It's like a suburb, like distance.

873
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,040
Gotcha. OK. Yeah.

874
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,040
That's where the that's where the king is.

875
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:49,040
We're getting because we interestingly, I don't like it seems like.

876
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:56,160
With Andre and his proximity to like Oscar and stuff, like

877
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,280
it seems like the series kind of more loose.

878
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,440
I don't know if maybe it's the house she grew up with was less strict

879
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,280
with like mingling between classes.

880
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,520
And once she gets to the palace, it's going to be different.

881
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,440
And we get to see more like class disparity or not.

882
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:13,680
It's a much more like

883
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,800
open minded version, maybe France than it would have been at the time.

884
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:24,200
Since they have Oscar running the military and all that.

885
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,080
Yeah.

886
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,040
She's getting beaten around more than the servants are the past, you know,

887
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,280
you got to hate your kids.

888
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,800
Manly to slap someone and to get into a manly fight with your childhood friend.

889
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,240
I'd like to meet her sisters, too.

890
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:44,840
Because surely they're like, yeah, dad sucks, or they resent her because

891
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,840
like because he decided she was going to be the son.

892
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,680
He gave her the the attention that he never did them

893
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:56,520
or some weird like sibling sibling rivalry or something.

894
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,600
Do you have any history?

895
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,160
Is Oscar based off anyone?

896
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,000
Just a fictional character.

897
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,480
Totally not based off anyone.

898
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:08,160
Yeah, yeah.

899
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:09,160
OK.

900
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,120
I yeah, I know I listened to something about Marie Antoinette at some point,

901
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,680
but all I can remember is that she was beheaded

902
00:57:17,680 --> 00:57:22,000
and like hated by

903
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,200
civilians for some reason, like, but I feel like it was

904
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,000
misconstrued what her intentions were, maybe or something.

905
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,240
But we should maybe we I don't know if we should talk about that.

906
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,960
I mean, common knowledge, so it's fine.

907
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:38,240
It's like history.

908
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,400
No spoilers for history.

909
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,240
Because that's how much we have shown necessarily.

910
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:43,840
So yeah, yeah.

911
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:48,840
Marie Antoinette, you know, it gets sassnated, has like famous lines,

912
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:50,000
like let them eat cake, that kind of thing.

913
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,960
She gets represented historically, like very unfavorably,

914
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,680
even though it seems like actual Marie Antoinette was like much more

915
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:02,040
of like a savvy political player and like more sympathetic to,

916
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,120
you know, like the revolutionary kind of played a little bit,

917
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:06,560
like kind of understood what it was like.

918
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:07,720
She was not so callous.

919
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:09,440
Like she's kind of

920
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,320
villainized.

921
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:14,880
Yeah, as like as kind of like the Paris Hilton a little bit of like

922
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:18,200
you're just kind of like the no nothing like royal who's gotten

923
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,000
everything they ever wanted.

924
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,760
It does not seem like that is really the case.

925
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,720
And she's like much more of a a political actor than, you know,

926
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:30,440
history gives her credit for that being said, she was hated for two reasons.

927
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:36,040
One is that she's a Habsburg, which are you familiar with the Habsburgs?

928
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:42,160
No, so the Habsburgs are a were a family of rulers,

929
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:43,440
which is kind of a weird thing.

930
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,920
But like Maria Teresa is a Habsburg.

931
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:48,080
They're a dynasty of

932
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:56,120
like nobility that would often be they were good at accumulating titles

933
00:58:56,120 --> 00:59:00,400
to various different kingdoms and they were also good at being stand in.

934
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:03,680
So like if you had a kingdom that like the leader died or something

935
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,400
and you just need somebody to fill the position so it doesn't dissolve

936
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,560
into anarchy or you're not taken over by somebody else,

937
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,200
then you could get a Habsburg to fill in for you because you know

938
00:59:12,200 --> 00:59:13,600
that they have name legitimacy.

939
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,840
They have connections to other nobility.

940
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,280
It's like a nice secure thing.

941
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,280
It's kind of like how if a company is like founder dies or something

942
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,640
and they need a new CEO, you grab a CEO of some other things that you have

943
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:25,520
some legitimacy.

944
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:26,920
Yeah, that makes sense.

945
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,480
So they're like a little bit like free agents in terms of like.

946
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,360
But also, you know, at this time, they had

947
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,560
a huge freelancing royalty.

948
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:40,240
Yeah, like Empress Maria Teresa is like,

949
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:42,800
you know, the Empress of

950
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,200
Austria, but also like she's the Holy Roman Emperor.

951
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:48,600
She has all these other titles.

952
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:53,320
She's the the King of Hungary, like all these other places that are like

953
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:57,840
really complicatedly like connected to each other,

954
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:03,560
like especially the Austrians had like a really complicated sovereignty system.

955
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,480
Or it's not just like like France was kind of uncharacteristically

956
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,960
like there's just one France, you're just the King of France.

957
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:12,800
And all of this is French, right?

958
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,840
Like it's a big area and not like how, you know, Prussia is where it's like

959
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:22,480
a bunch of different places that are all formed together to form one big place.

960
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:24,160
Like a confederation.

961
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,320
So it's like really weird.

962
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,760
OK. OK. What?

963
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,040
Oh, yeah. No, I'm following.

964
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,760
Yeah, but they didn't like her because she's a Habsburg,

965
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:35,720
which is like you come from the family of rich nobles.

966
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:39,480
Like that's what your family is famous for, being rich nobles.

967
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,520
And also, she's an Austrian, so she's not even French.

968
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,040
So that's why people.

969
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:48,000
Yeah, I guess was right because it said like, oh, they were.

970
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:52,640
Warring and then they made this treaty.

971
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:57,920
Is that because Teresa had recently taken over Austria?

972
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,640
And that's why the treaty was reached.

973
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,360
Oh, that's how long has she been in Austria?

974
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:06,320
Yeah, let me.

975
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:07,440
I don't actually know.

976
01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,560
No, everything ever, Joe.

977
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:17,560
Maria Teresa became emperor in 1745.

978
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,920
Oh, wow.

979
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:19,960
That's Holy Roman Emperors.

980
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,560
Hold on. Queen of Bohemia.

981
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,320
Oh, yeah.

982
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,840
Archdusces of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Croatian.

983
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:28,600
This is what I'm talking about in terms of like it's.

984
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,640
Yeah, in the 40s, sometime in the 1740s is like when she was.

985
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,320
In charge. This was.

986
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:35,120
Stacked.

987
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:37,200
What would that be?

988
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,240
The not not the Seven Years War.

989
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:40,560
That was against Prussia.

990
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:43,320
One of those wars, I don't know, like they're always that war, you know,

991
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:47,640
but these guys are like France and Austria share a border,

992
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,960
which is why they're going to war pretty often.

993
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,280
Yeah, OK. And.

994
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,520
Is Duke or.

995
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,880
Or or Leon. OK, is that how you said it?

996
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:04,400
Yeah, so the Duke of Orlean is a is a is a real position.

997
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:08,720
So people become so early on is a place like a city or at the time.

998
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:10,960
Yeah, I think you became the Duke of that.

999
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,120
So that's a that's a position it's inherited.

1000
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:16,720
They were they were the cousins of the king.

1001
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,640
The thing about this show is that

1002
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,560
the Duke of Orlean was not one guy kind of at this time.

1003
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:26,640
There was one Duke of Orlean who was an old man at the time.

1004
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:27,400
This would have happened.

1005
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:28,720
And then there's a later Duke.

1006
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:29,960
So it's Louis Philippe.

1007
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,120
The first is the one that would be in charge.

1008
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:37,160
In in 1760 or whatever.

1009
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,760
And then Louis Philippe, the second, who's the guy who's around

1010
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:46,640
during the French Revolution, would be the guy who would try to get the throne.

1011
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:47,840
Like he would be that age group.

1012
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,600
So I think they're trying to do Louis Philippe, the second here.

1013
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:55,760
But he's he wouldn't have been the Duke of Orlean at the time

1014
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,280
because his dad was still alive. OK, that's true.

1015
01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:00,120
But he is.

1016
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:04,240
So he became the prince of the first blood because I don't think Louis,

1017
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:08,800
the 15th had multiple sons that lived very long.

1018
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,320
Like one of them died when they were like two.

1019
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,720
At least you have sons.

1020
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,760
It's pretty good more than.

1021
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:21,200
Oscar's dad can say one of them dies.

1022
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,040
Yes, I think they're all going to die of like various things.

1023
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:25,840
OK.

1024
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:29,000
You got married when he was 15 and his wife was 22.

1025
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,880
She was older than him.

1026
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,280
OK, that's interesting.

1027
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:33,840
They had eight.

1028
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:36,640
They had 10 children, eight girls and two boys of the boys, only the.

1029
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,760
Damn, Louis survived childhood while the other did not live to rule.

1030
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:44,280
So there was only one other kid, but the other one died during childhood.

1031
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:48,000
That was a boy. So the Duke of Orlean was the next in line.

1032
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,000
And Louis Philippe, the second was a supporter,

1033
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,040
an early supporter of the French Revolution.

1034
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,200
So he would have been considered like a traitor, kind of in the way that this was

1035
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,120
trying to are a supporter of constitutional monarchy

1036
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,440
as opposed to absolute monarchy, which is what it was at the time.

1037
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:10,320
And is like the general take now that like the revel, like if we look back at it now,

1038
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,680
it's like, yeah, they should have revolt or velled kind of situation like

1039
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:20,880
is warranted or is for the better of most French folks.

1040
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:25,440
Yeah. So the French Revolution has like a little bit of a murky legacy

1041
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,120
because there were kind of two different revolutions that happened.

1042
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:32,080
There was the first one, which is essentially more of a political revolution of

1043
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,680
the king has absolute power or they shouldn't have absolute power.

1044
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,640
They should be, you know, a constitutional monarchy,

1045
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:44,000
which was very popular at the time, even though it was popular amongst like a

1046
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:49,080
kind of like a step down from the most high aristocracy.

1047
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,600
So like more elites that was popular then, right?

1048
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:56,640
And that's that's essentially like what the like the American Revolution

1049
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,520
was much more of a political one where like, oh, well, the elites of America

1050
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,120
want to rule, not listen to the king there, right?

1051
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,600
But it wasn't like a populist uprising.

1052
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,440
Then there was the second part, which was more of the populist uprising,

1053
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,880
which was more about like, you know, getting rid of the third estate,

1054
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,960
which is like the religious stuff and like doing all these other things.

1055
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:17,000
That was much more revolutionary in terms of like

1056
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:20,560
stuff that would come later with like the the Bolshevik revolutions

1057
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,840
and like communism and stuff like that.

1058
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:26,600
But that one also had the rate of terror in it and had like some of the more

1059
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,480
kind of brutality stuff.

1060
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,920
The French Revolution ends with Napoleon becoming the emperor of imperial France.

1061
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:39,640
So if you look at the whole long term thing, people have a lot of different views

1062
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,120
about it. So people tend to view the first revolution pretty favorably.

1063
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:47,440
They tend to view the ideas of the second part of the revolution favorably,

1064
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,080
even if they didn't like the execution of it.

1065
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:53,240
And then nobody really liked the outcome, the Napoleonic.

1066
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,040
Yeah, I mean, it's seen as like a failure overall, I think.

1067
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,040
But it did like inspire a lot of stuff that came on later

1068
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:01,400
and it did have a lot of knock on effects.

1069
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,600
So like the French Revolution is the reason why the Haitian Revolution

1070
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,840
happened, for example.

1071
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,680
And a lot of revolutions that came later modeled like their

1072
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:13,040
constitutions and stuff over things that happened in the French Revolution.

1073
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,760
So it's like historically important for inspiring other stuff,

1074
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,720
even if it didn't like succeed in producing a lasting.

1075
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,320
Damn, show Joe, the podcast is taking quite the turn.

1076
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,440
History podcast now.

1077
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,160
Well, it's interesting that they like because I mean, they do explicitly

1078
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,480
in the first episode say that like, oh, all these people are enjoying this party.

1079
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,720
While out in the fields, everything's going real bad.

1080
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:40,920
And like part of the tipping point of like when things are going to start

1081
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:46,800
getting really bad is France helps out the US in the American Revolution,

1082
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:48,680
which was just a terrible idea.

1083
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:50,240
It just totally bankrupted them.

1084
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,440
And while they were already having money problems, it was incredibly stupid.

1085
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:59,760
So 1776 is when we should start seeing the financial situation go real south for them.

1086
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:04,920
So the French Revolution starts in 1789.

1087
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:07,880
Like that's when the storming of the Bastille happens and things like that.

1088
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:14,680
And then Louis the 16th was executed in 19 or not, 1793.

1089
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:15,960
Gotcha.

1090
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,000
So cool.

1091
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,240
Well, that's our.

1092
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,520
Our French intro, I don't know, French Revolution.

1093
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:32,520
Like setting the vibes, getting us all in the period and what's going on.

1094
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,120
And so I'm excited.

1095
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:40,160
I'm excited to see this will be the oldest anime I've ever watched for sure.

1096
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,000
And I'm excited to see more of it.

1097
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:43,800
Yeah.

1098
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:45,600
Yeah. No, it's exciting.

1099
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:49,240
I'm glad it like doesn't look because I mean, it does look old, but it doesn't look that old.

1100
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:50,600
Like they still think the effects work.

1101
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,120
I still think like it works as a show.

1102
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:53,400
It's dramatic points.

1103
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,280
Yeah, it's mostly just like the corny effects.

1104
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,880
I think that are like the most like the age at the most.

1105
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:06,200
Like all the, you know, they had to make do with the limitations at the time,

1106
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:08,640
but it doesn't make it unwatchable by any means.

1107
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:12,120
So hopefully everyone listening is down to try this out with us.

1108
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:13,080
Yeah.

1109
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,640
And I do think in some ways, like being more striking and dramatic makes it more

1110
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:19,480
engaging to watch than some newer stuff I've seen.

1111
01:08:19,480 --> 01:08:21,480
Because like the part where like like, like, um,

1112
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:24,000
Marie Antoinette like dissolves in a red void.

1113
01:08:24,440 --> 01:08:28,880
It feels like it's going for something so much more dramatic than things in modern

1114
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,320
shows don't even try to do.

1115
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:32,960
Like the ambition seems higher on this show.

1116
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:33,560
Yeah.

1117
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:38,120
I also feel like because I feel like that it's easier to follow what's

1118
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:40,400
happening in the show with like our newer anime.

1119
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:43,680
There's a lot more frequent cuts and like

1120
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,680
unclear exactly what's happening.

1121
01:08:46,680 --> 01:08:50,520
Or like where we'll get confused on what it was, who said what,

1122
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:53,000
or were they thinking it or saying it, things like that.

1123
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:56,400
So like this one's a lot easier to follow.

1124
01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:00,000
Like every detail that's happening in the show.

1125
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:01,200
Yeah.

1126
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:01,560
Cool.

1127
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:01,880
Yeah.

1128
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:02,480
So it's good.

1129
01:09:02,480 --> 01:09:03,280
Yeah.

1130
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:04,280
Look at us go.

1131
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:04,600
Okay.

1132
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:05,480
So this is our.

1133
01:09:06,480 --> 01:09:07,120
Fifth.

1134
01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:08,840
Series now.

1135
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:09,480
Fifth series.

1136
01:09:09,480 --> 01:09:09,840
Yep.

1137
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,320
Look at us rolling out.

1138
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,440
Do you want to cover up for the next episode?

1139
01:09:14,440 --> 01:09:18,120
Rolling out, do you want to cover three episodes next or two?

1140
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:21,640
Um, do you think they're going to be as detailed as this?

1141
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,160
If we're going to talk more about like historical context,

1142
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:26,200
maybe we should.

1143
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:30,360
Like, or at least maybe until it's a more settled like.

1144
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:33,960
Time within the story.

1145
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:34,480
Right.

1146
01:09:34,480 --> 01:09:36,840
Like, because if there's more time skits and stuff, maybe

1147
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,880
we may do at least the next episode, we should cover two more.

1148
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:41,200
I think.

1149
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:41,480
Okay.

1150
01:09:41,480 --> 01:09:41,680
Yeah.

1151
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:42,720
Because of the episode.

1152
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:45,240
So I'm assuming it's going to start being more episodic or like

1153
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,080
have like little tiny arcs that are a little bit more straightforward.

1154
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,600
But yeah, depending on who we get introduced to and who I have

1155
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,080
to look up if they historically existed at all.

1156
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:57,720
Maybe maybe two episodes.

1157
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:58,160
It'd be good.

1158
01:09:58,520 --> 01:09:58,800
Okay.

1159
01:09:58,800 --> 01:09:59,720
So we'll watch the next two.

1160
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:00,200
Cool.

1161
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:01,240
Yeah.

1162
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:02,320
Sounds good.

1163
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:02,640
Okay.

1164
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,200
So episodes three and four next time on show Joe.

1165
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:06,760
Yeah.

1166
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:07,280
Sweet.

1167
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:12,200
Well, um, if you enjoyed this podcast and this is your first episode

1168
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:14,240
you've listened to, uh, then welcome.

1169
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:18,240
We've covered four other shows that you can go back and listen to.

1170
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,360
Um, I would watch along if you want.

1171
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:22,400
They've all been pretty good.

1172
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,720
I've, you know, we've haven't, we haven't had any misses so far.

1173
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,840
You can also rate us five stars on your platform and your podcast

1174
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:29,560
platform of choice.

1175
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:30,560
That would really help us out.

1176
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:32,680
Tell your friends about the show.

1177
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,440
Tell people you know about the show.

1178
01:10:34,440 --> 01:10:37,400
If you know other people that like anime, if you know people that are

1179
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:43,720
interested in maybe the upcoming studio map animated movie rows of Versailles

1180
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:47,680
and want to watch the original thing, uh, before you're able to view that,

1181
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,560
then join us.

1182
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:54,680
Um, I'm sure at the end of this, we will at some point watch that movie.

1183
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,600
It's made available to us in some way we can watch it.

1184
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:01,160
Uh, so you can look forward to that.

1185
01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:05,400
Uh, if there are any like historical inaccuracies of any of the stuff I just

1186
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:08,640
said, which I'm sure there are many because I'm just saying this off the

1187
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:14,280
dome, uh, please email us at show joepod at gmail.com.

1188
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,480
Uh, please be nice to me about this because I am just trying to remember

1189
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:19,680
things I go from.

1190
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:24,080
I'm not a history like I didn't like, I'm not an expert.

1191
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:29,440
So, um, could have formed me if you do know in insane consistencies, let

1192
01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:31,800
me know because I do want to, I do want to try to make this as accurate as

1193
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,640
possible, um, without me having to do an extraordinarily amount of work.

1194
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:37,880
Yeah.

1195
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:38,880
No work.

1196
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,720
I mean, I can't be listening to that history thing again.

1197
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:43,600
It was super long.

1198
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:44,600
Uh, yeah.

1199
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:45,080
Okay.

1200
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:49,840
Now I'm like that's all I'm going to listen to as I play fields of mystery

1201
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:50,800
right after this.

1202
01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,840
I'm just going to listen to freaking French history now.

1203
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:55,440
That podcast is great.

1204
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:59,280
Actually, like I learned so much stuff about like, yeah, you recommended it.

1205
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,680
Probably like two months ago on the pod.

1206
01:12:02,440 --> 01:12:05,760
So yes, I remember because you're listening to it on your drive from

1207
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:07,640
your camping trip from how that's right.

1208
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:08,240
Yeah.

1209
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:08,800
Yeah.

1210
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:09,960
It's good.

1211
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,320
It's like the only way I understand European history that isn't just like

1212
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:18,080
random moments and being like, okay, so Germany is like.

1213
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,680
Ten different places all combined into one because they all decided they're

1214
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,000
ethnically Germany, even though these places didn't necessarily like each

1215
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,320
other like, okay, sure.

1216
01:12:27,480 --> 01:12:28,160
Why not?

1217
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,120
This is the podcast to cover all your needs.

1218
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:31,640
Right.

1219
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:33,160
We're going to talk about gender a lot.

1220
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,680
I get a feeling this is going to be a lot about gender.

1221
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,280
A lot about, uh,

1222
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,920
Joe loves talking about gender.

1223
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:40,840
Love gender here.

1224
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:41,840
Yeah.

1225
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,240
So we like ladies kicking ass.

1226
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,440
Yeah, I like it when she disarms people.

1227
01:12:46,440 --> 01:12:49,800
It's funny that she flings their sword and they're like, oh shit.

1228
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:55,080
And we hope that she can eventually come to terms that she can embrace her

1229
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:57,600
femininity and still be strong.

1230
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,040
They should give Marie Antoinette a sword.

1231
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,520
You don't have to reject.

1232
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,600
Right now, like she's annoying.

1233
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,680
I don't know if I like her.

1234
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,240
What the 14 year old princess?

1235
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,160
Open mouth giggles too much.

1236
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:12,320
Yes, I hate it.

1237
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:13,600
And yeah, and like.

1238
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:19,680
I'm getting the manic vibes from we'll see, but this is all be interesting

1239
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:20,760
because we're starting.

1240
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:24,840
I'm assuming by the end of the series will be at much different places

1241
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:26,400
with these characters.

1242
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:26,720
Yeah.

1243
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:28,480
So it'll be cool to see this.

1244
01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:33,400
This will be the longest span of time we've covered.

1245
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,240
All our series have been like in the moment, except for Chi Hai,

1246
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,360
if you had like a long ass flashback, better than that.

1247
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,640
It's all within a short time.

1248
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,240
Yeah, we've had no big time skips.

1249
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:47,840
So yeah, and maybe they'll do these walks.

1250
01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:49,640
Normally I don't like time skips.

1251
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:50,640
What did we learn?

1252
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,080
Leave the butterflies alone.

1253
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:53,280
Don't catch the butterflies.

1254
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:54,480
Don't just walk into a family.

1255
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:55,840
Leave them alone.

1256
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:57,160
Leave them alone.

1257
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,320
If somebody comes to see you always pretend like you're doing

1258
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:05,040
something sophisticated, just grab a book and sit down so that they know

1259
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:06,320
that you're all business.

1260
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:07,080
Uh huh.

1261
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:08,520
God, that was so.

1262
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:08,920
Sorry.

1263
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:17,120
Yeah, so take those little nuggets of knowledge.

1264
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:18,920
Incorporate them in your life.

1265
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:19,680
Yes.

1266
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:25,360
And let us know how that all went when we when we talk next week on

1267
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,360
show Joe.

1268
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:28,240
See you.

1269
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:55,120
Bye.
